I had a bowel movement on Saturday (10/12) and Sunday (10/08). This is great news because I haven’t really changed my diet except to starting eating 3-4 apples or pears a day and taking the DE. I know the DE is what made me start BMing regularly. Here’s a quick breakdown of my DE consumption:

Saw biological dentist who did my mercury removal (one tooth – canine/incisor?) for severe sensitivity to cold, one month after the original dental work. He determined the most likely cause of this was grinding and clenching my teeth and jaw while sleeping. This stems from pent-up stress.

He advised buying a dental guard for around $25 from Walgreens or Fred Meyer. I bought the “Sleep Right No-Boil Dental Guard: Dura-Comfort”. This is the thickest one that SleepRight makes and it cost around $40. I put it in about an hour before going to sleep. Upon waking I could already feel the relief — 75% less tooth and jaw soreness than the night before !!!

Diatomaceous Earth

Started taking a heaping tablespoon of diatomaceous earth + 8 oz warm water today. I will take it 2x/day and monitor for health improvements.

I found out about and subsequently bought a 3-Lb jar of diatomaceous earth (DE for short)–fossilized one-celled organisms–from Amazon about 2 months ago (August). It only cost about $20 and I originally used it to kill small brown ants and fleas.

Diatomaceous Earth – Nature’s Wisdom Food Grade

The DE was effective on the ants to an extent (most of the ant highways by the bathtub were gone, but there was still a path to the bathroom sink). I tried rubbing it on Mom’s yorkie for fleas, but it didn’t seem to work on the dog fleas; by work I mean it didn’t get rid of all her fleas. The was a reduction in fleas at first, but they were back after about 2 weeks. I’ve learned recently that with fleas you have to vacuum all the time and make sure to dump the results in the trash and immediately put outside so they don’t jump out and wreak havoc again.

Well, it is now cold weather in Oregon but Mom still has ants in the bathroom. They aren’t anywhere else, except some of them had come into the living room (directly juxtaposed to the bathroom). Mom found a recipe of baking soda and powdered sugar and wanted to try that to eliminate the ants. It worked to gather them to one area, and helped identify where their main source of entry was. But the sugar was too much of a draw, no matter how many ants laid dead in the shallow Rubbermaid dish.

I had about a salt-shaker’s worth of DE left from 2 months ago and wanted to use it to finish off the ants that were still in the bathroom. It seems to be working in every place except where the sugar solution is. This is what made me look up DE again. I also remembered there was a remineralizing toothpaste recipe made with diatomaceous earth on YouTube. While looking that up, I found many new videos reiterating that DE is great for internal use in humans to regulate the bowels.

NEVER USE POOL-GRADE — ONLY USE FOOD GRADE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH FOR USE AROUND AND INSIDE HUMANS AND ANIMALS — POOL-GRADE IS TOXIC !!!

One day a truth seeker found herself in a very stressful situation. Having over-analyzed all the world religions and philosophies searching for what is real in a sea of myth and fairy tales, she eventually came the the conclusion that all of it was hogwash. Yet she felt that there must be a god out there somewhere.

In earnest she began praying, meditating and chanting every night. She prayed to know how people should live. What their purpose was. And what their relationship with God was. She focused her life on praying, determined to get an answer from God. To be holy she reasoned, she should ignore all modern conveniences and spend most of her day suffering and praying for the answers. But the answers didn’t come.

After 3 weeks, as the sun was rising a loud knock came to her door. She ignored it because she was in the middle of praying and figured that to break concentration would make the prayer fail. For a split second she heard a voice in her head say “Answer It”, but she doubted the voice and continued to ignore it, because she couldn’t be sure that it wasn’t just her own mind and her own will telling her to answer. She was determined to get the answers from the universe and deny her own wants and needs. Whoever it was knocked twice more and then finally went away. The woman, in order to dedicate herself to finding truth from God shut out her friends and family and began to grow cold and distant.

Three months of silent prayer and meditations passed. Every day and every night the woman spent asking God to reveal his truth to her, but she received no response. One day she stopped praying to use the bathroom when the phone rang. A voice told her to answer it, but she ignored the voice thinking it was just her mind playing tricks on her. The phone rang two more times and each time the voice told her to answer it, but she ignored it each time, and eventually it stopped. The next day she received a notice that they were foreclosing on her house and she had to move in with a distant relative who didn’t know her very well. She lived with her distant relative for 3 years, but stayed secluded in her own room and never talked to anyone.

Three years passed with no response from God. By now she was malnutritioned and close to death. She had so alienated her friends and family that they didn’t want to be around her anymore and she became homeless. Destitute she gave up praying and became a drunk and determined there was no god. Cynically, she would recall stories of her wasted life to everyone. She would explain that she knew all along God never existed but foolishly she decided to “give religion a try”, since science didn’t seem to have the answers.

10 years flew by in which she continued to be bitter about how she wasted most of her life for a God that didn’t even exist. One particular day when she was more sober that normal, she happened to walk by a sign that said an Islamist teacher would be holding a free seminar to explain the nature of God and what he wants for man. “Islamists are evil killers” she thought to herself. “What knowledge could he have” she asked herself cynically? The small voice that used to talk to her years ago told her to go and see this man and listen to what he has to say. She ignored the voice however, thinking that she was just too intoxicated with liquor or going crazy.

It just so happened that on the day the teacher was to speak, the woman was so drunk she didn’t realize where she was. Having a bad case of diarrhea she entered the closest door she could find looking for a public bathroom. She stumbled to the bathroom and as she began to relieve herself, she noticed through blurry vision, a flyer on the door. It was an announcement reminding people about the free teachings that would be given by this Islamist. The woman started to gripe outloud “Even if I had wanted to go I probably missed it already”. She immediately heard that voice in her head that said “Wipe yourself and go now — you didn’t miss it.” She ignored the voice at first, the said “I’m a mess I can’t go out there like this”. The voice replied “You are perfect; go out there NOW! This is your last chance” And a third time in 7 days she ignored the voice thinking it must be her own thoughts.

The woman wiped herself and as she exited the building she was struck by a bus and died. Immediately there was a tunner with a bright light at the end of it. An angel silently took her hand and led her floating through the tunnel. At the end was gathered all her friends and family who had passed, as well as un-marked souls.

Soon after this brief and happy reunion, she was led to the pearly gates where she encountered St. Peter. St. Peter opened the Book of Life and found the womans’ name listed there and after a brief moment opened the gates and told her to walk all the way up the stairs to be judged by God.

A little frightened and confused, she ascended the stairs. Finally she stands before not just God, but 12 other figures for a total of 13. Among them were Elijah, Muhammad, Buddha, and of course Jesus.

As she gazed on the face of God with disbelief, he asked her how she felt about the way she had lived her life. Frustrated the woman could not hold her tongue and blurted out “What — you ARE real!?!? The why did you make me live such a hard life and though I prayed day and night and forsook all other worldly things for your cousel, you never gave it? Every night I prayed for anwsers but the answers never came.

God responded to her very kindly: “I am sorry you weren’t happy with you life, but I was always there for you and when you asked for answers I gave them to you.”

“No you didn’t”, the woman shouted, “– you never ONCE answered me”

God patiently waited for her to finish her rant. Then he explained to the woman the following:

“Answers and guideance isn’t always direct. When you asked to know the truth that first time, I sent a Jehova’s Witness to your door, yet you ignored them. I spoke directly to your heart and told you to answer it but you doubted my voice.

When you asked for the truth the second time, I had an old friend reach out to you on the telephone. That friend wanted to invite you to go hear a sermon by a Buddhist monk, in which you would have learned something that would have caused your brain to finally understand. But you ignored the phone call and my voice that you to answer the phone.

And near the end of your life, I gave you one last chance to follow your heart when I sent the Islamist teacher to your town. I even helped guide you so you ended up in the building when he was about to teach. If you had listened to my voice and stayed, you would have learned my truth from this teacher.

God replied “You will have another chance, but this is your last one to live as a human.”

He continued … “I will make you a great prophet and you will be reborn as a male child. You will have the freedom to choose to listen to me as always, but when you hear my voice I will call on you to do great things. Your purpose will be as a healer and a teacher. My children have lost their heart in the trappings of modernity. You will restore them to me. I am Love and Love is me. When you share my message with someone you are sharing a piece of me.

I am both solid and energy. These things you will tell my people, who are all the people of Earth. I am both always there and never there. I have sent many to proclaim my message, some have been called prophets, others to do my will silently. You shall not be silet. When I give you a message you shall proclaim it as I spoke it to those who are in need of the message.

Tell the people that though they are scared, they should let go of their fear. Fear is the killer of mind and killer of heart. The only devil is the devil of doubt. The devil is not a person, nor an entity — it is not a tangible thing either. Rather, it is a state of mind where you believe you are not God-like and you doubt that you are worthy of my Love. Tell the people they are all worthy of my love.

My people have through fear of misunderstanding, misinterpreted my words that I have sent to them through those who hear and obey my voice. They folly because the adhere so tightly to the word, that they entirely miss the message.

Tell the people that my message is Love. I love the world that I have created so much that I keep sending people to speak my word. Some people have benefitted, but overall mankind ignores my call.

Share Love with everyone. Love is intention. Love everyone unconditionally. Forgive all who injure or offend you and you will prosper. Plant seeds of joy and happiness.

Always pre-judge people, for that is part of how I built you to keep you safe. But for my signs and words in your heart, always give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Treat everyone with kindness. Share what you have, even when it is your last. The more you give to others, the more you get in return.

I have sent witches, sorcerers, and seers to teach you — do not be afraid — learn from them, but follow my voice and you will do well. These are also my children.

I have sent charlatans, theives, and tricksters to teach you — do not be afraid — learn from them, but follow my voice and you will do well. These are also my children.

I have sent dictators, kings, and emperors to teach you — do not be afraid — learn from them, but follow my voice and you will do well. These are also my children.

And I have sent the holy and anointed-ones to teach you, whom you will fear most of because of my truth they bring — but do not be afraid — learn from them, but follow my voice and you will do well. These are also my children.

Each person’s world, is the world they made for themselves, for I have bestowed each and every one of my children with that power. You can chose love or you can choose not-love, but the more love you give the better your life will be.

Everyone who believes in anything believes in me, for I am everything.

The only true evil is to speak Love, but intend not-love.

I have sent many men, women, animals, plants, minerals, and elevated-being to teach my people. In different ages, I have sent different messengers, but all proclaimed my message of love.

I am Love. Go now, back down there, and do this and I will reward you with great joy and happiness. Share me sincerely, and my message with everyone you meet.

Tell my people that love is the answer, love is the way, love is the only truth, and most of all LOVE them even more though they reject my message.

This is the charge that will be your task”

And thus God spoke to the woman, and the angel and the dove escorted her to her new body, a baby boy, born to procliam his message of LOVE to the world. Give LOVE to everyone, and do not judge them and you will received the LOVE of God.

RawLifeWizard is moving today (Jan 3, 2013) to a new home. This blog will now be combined with my main blog at kristobaldude.wordpress.com. For now I will leave rawlifewizard.wordpress.com up so that everyone can see this notice. But, alas I will not be updating this url any further after today.

I’m doing this for 2 reasons — 1) Make it easier to keep track of posting replies to comments — currently I have around 4 handles that I could use to respond with. To facilitate more efficient comment management I will now only be responding as “Kristobaldude“. So, if you ever see a comment by Kristobaldude, RawLifeWizard, CodeSlayer2010, or Dr. Tempus Sans … yep, those are all me!

The 2nd reason is that now posts will appear to be more frequent because all my posts will be combined into one blog. The main reason I had multiple WordPress.com blogs was to enable categorization of the main types of posts as follows:

Greetings folks. I’ve spent the better part of the morning so far today researching and reading reviews and comparisons of multifunction blenders including the Vitamix, Blendtec, Ninja and Montel’s Living Well HealthMaster. Here’s a rating and summary of what I learned:

#1 – Vitamix – The best hands down with the best warranty (7 years standard) and customer service. Costs the most, but often on sale for less than $400 at Costco.

#2 – Blendtec – Almost as good as Vitamix. Trusted by Starbucks and smoothie shops world-wide. Can be noisy and uses presets so speed control is more limited.

#3 – Ninja – (NOTE: We are of course referring the Ninja Professional, not the earlier Ninja, which seemed like a more advanced Magic Bullet) – A
decent blender that can do most blending tasks including “…crush ice, blend fruits, blend vegetables, and make blended drinks…” (GotGreensRevolution.com), but only has 1 year warranty, not good for grinding grains or making hot soup.

#4 – Health Master – According to over 153/235 reviewers (65%) on Amazon.com this product is less than desirable. This blender has been around for a while now. Several reviews indicated worn bearings, rust, grease/oil leaking into smoothies, difficulty disassembling/reassembling multiple plastic components after cleaning, and many reports of overall failure within the first 3-6 months. Talk show host and now infomercial spokesman Montel Williams began hawking this blender in 2009, but many customers believe it is a reincarnation of the Jack LaLanne Health Master 100; unfortunately, this blender seems to have inherited most of it’s predecessor’s defects, much to the consumers’ dismay.

“[T]he bearings at the bottom of the blender are completely inadequate. It never got wet from below. I was always careful about that. It still didn’t take long for the bearings to become shot. Liquid started to leak through and it rusted out. Now the whole thing is entirely useless. It lasted all of about 2 months for a total of probably 40 uses. That is totally unacceptable. The bearings just can’t keep up with the 150 HP electric engine.”

Here is a review excerpt about the Living Well HealthMaster:

Living Well HealthMaster with rusty base

(Amazon.com, robert campbell) – “[December 17, 2009]This unit is a Jack La Lanne Healthmaster, redesigned with a new digital display, and costs more. I owned the Jack La Lanne, and within 6 months, the bearings stripped, and a rust color was dripping from the container, with the food being tainted by rust on the blades. I threw it out and bought a Vitamix. The same problems are beginning to surface with this machine problems develop either immediately or within 3 to 6 months of use. A neighbor, who loves Montel, and ignored my warnings, bought this machine through the healthmaster website. Within 3 days, the motor burnt out … This machine does what it is supposed to do, it makes good smoothies, but simply isn’t powerful enough and cannot handle the strain.”

And here is a recent review of the latest version — The HealthMaster Elite II — written this year (2012):

(Amazon.com, AK1989) – “To be clear, I purchased this Health Master Elite II (Montel’s blender) from the Montel Health Master website. The blender stopped working after two months of light use. I only made fruit smoothies which only requires to run the blender for one minute to make a smoothie. So the combined time for that two month period was approx 35 minutes. The motor appears to have stopped working, as an electrician that has installed numerous motors over a 30 year career, this is a sign of a bad motor/product.”

Given the above reviews and many others that I read today, I don’t think I’d feel comfortable in recommending the HealthMaster to ANYONE. The manufactures apparently don’t care enough about their customers to make a decent product that lasts.

As to which blender is best I would have to agree with others who have said don’t waste your money on the pretenders — just buy the Vitamix, and if you live near a Costco you should be able to get a hefty discount (currently it’s mid-August and my local Costco is selling the Vitamix 5200s for $375 — that’s about a $50 savings of the cost of ordering it direct from the manufacturer!

Have you had any experience with any of these blenders? If so, comment below and tell us what you liked, what you hated, how much it cost you, and let us know which units you would recommend to your friends!

I decided to start a 40 day water fast and tried it 4 days ago but was unable to make it for various reasons. I was doing weird things in the extreme like giving away all my food, but then when the hunger crept in that same night, I’d go steal my food back from who I gave it to. Firstly, I’m wondering if any of you have had a similar experience? I’m known for being able to discipline myself and stick to strict regimens among my friends, relatives, and colleagues. Which is why it “feels” like a failure when I start to fast, but then I cheat and eat food late at night. Which is partly why I’m journalling this online: to help keep me accountable! You all can help too by messaging me and helping me keep my spirits up!

Today is the real day 1! Wish me luck my friends!!! :) I will try to post a new video journal each day so to record what’s really going on.

Blessings and Abundance unto you!

* Video Goes Here *

NOTE: YouTube is uploading a 4 min video on 20 MB connection extremely slowly today for some reason … I recorded a video and tried to upload it for you 3 times to no avail … I will try again later and it will go here when I’m done.

Advanced Warning: I realized after the fact that there is a lot of noise from the air conditioner I have running in my room to stay cool. Next video I will try to remember to turn that off before i start recording! :)

2:03 pm

I realized I left some things out so here are some baseline infos I want to declare:

40 Day Water Fast – Day 1

Weight: 195 lbs

Height: 5’11.5″

Eyes: Blue but looks hazel or brown due to excess sulphur and lymph stagnation.

Waist: 36″

Arms: 15″

Tongue has been sticky all day — that is supposed to be a sign of detoxing — so maybe I’m already in a mild state of detox since I ate my last dairy vegetable dip the other day? Haven’t had meat for almost 2 weeks now.

Going to bathroom 2-3 times daily — Each time, hemorrhoids irritated to some degree — sometimes bleeding, other times just swolen & sore. Hope is that by allowing my digestive system to rest I will be able to get that issue healed and also rid my body of the excessive sulphur in my guts.

Already feel drained and dragging.

Plan to start watching movies tonight for diversion and entertainment to aid in healing and removal of stress.

well I’m posting this on my droid razor phone and it’s gonna die pretty soon as crappy battery life I maybe getting a droid razor maxx

Why Should I Try Quantum Jumping and What Is It?

Everything I Know About Quantum Jumping I Learned From My Mother (so far)

My Mom told me about quantum jumping last year and she said she has not been able to do it but she wants to. What she explained it sounding like she

Mom’s Spiritual Wisdom

was talking about astral travel (out of body experience). Today she was telling about it again after I explained what is going on with my relationships and my physical health issues. She elaborated more and explained that we all have aspects of ourselves who are experts at a given topic

Burt Goldman Teaching Quantum Jumping

(e.g.: the me that is an expert healer, the great lover me, the excellent business-minded me, the great-with-children me, etc.), and the goal of qj is to make contact with one of these beings and ask them to give you the knowledge you need to perform a difficult task you don’t know how to accomplish.

The Matrix: Downloading Experience via Software vs Quantum Jumping

From one aspect, this concept is very “matrix-y” in the sense that it is similar to believing that there is a master data-set containing the entire canon of knowledge for a given topic that one simply transfers to one’s consciousness and thereby instantly attains the new desired techniques, skills, memories, and abilities. So whereas quantum jumping may talk about accessing the super mind for information you receive from different expert versions of yourself, the matrix’s version is more computer-0riented and says that we can download any knowledge of a given topic (martial arts, cunnilingus, managing a roller coaster park, etc.) into

Downloading knowledge in The Matrix

our brains and boom — now we are instant experts. Note, though, that the Matrix movies offer no explanation or plausible suppositions as to how downloading those skills handle different people’s personal learn styles, speed of learning etc. Instead, it essentially offers Hollywood’s standard story-line alternative when no plausible pseudo-science or futurism is available — the plot device of deus ex machina.

A Seance With Yourself ™

The concept of quantum jumping from her explanation of it makes more sense from a scientific and metaphysical standpoint. If she has explained it correctly, qj basically allows you to question yourself and to be answered back — not by some outside source that may not fully understand or care what you are trying to get out of this query session — but rather, in your own voice, using your own thought and speech patterns, and teaching you the new knowledge you are

A seance from the early 1900’s

seeking using the methods that you personally learn best with. If my understanding is correct, this seems like something I will want to investigate further before trying it. Essentially, my take on it is that (in a nutshell) it can be thought of in simplistic terms as a “seance with yourself”.

Tell Us About Your Experience With Quantum Jumping — Was It Good Or Bad? Would You Do It Again?

I do plan to try quantum jumping soon. It seems like it will be an amazing experience that will indeed, be life-changing and I eagerly await this mystical knowledge waypoint on my current journey. Have you ever tried Quantum Jumping? Have you trained under or worked with Burt Goldman in person? Let me know in the comments below — I’d love to hear your story!
